CLA for R-D1 in NW Europe?

[photorat]

Tried asking Kamera-Service (www.kamera-service.info) in the Netherlands if they could repair my R-D1 (the shutter curtains open only half the time - very annoying) but they apparently don't want to touch digital cameras.

Anyone know where I can have my R-D1 CLA'ed in Belgium or neighbouring countries?

Thanks in advance!

Hallo,

Have you come across Rich's great RD-1 site?

http://www.richcutler.co.uk/r-d1/r-d1_01.htm

He has the details for the Epson service centre in France there.

Thanks a lot, kully. I had seen Rich's site but not the section on repairs. Very helpful. Thanks!

Please give feedback on your experience here, when possible.

I have contactet Epson Norway in order to get sercvice done, specifying the afore mentioned address in France. After several mails to and from (revealing that they didnt have a clue) they finally told me the are "working on the matter" and will be back later. That is now allmost 4 weeks ago.

Frankly I wouldnt mind sending tha camera over the atlantic to *well-known-repair-facility-mentioned-many-times-on-this-sit-but-cant-recall-now* - but decided to sting Epson first, wicked me. And yes I will contact Epson Norway again shortly

Kind Regards

Niels

I believe Robert White services it as well:

Otherwise the Epson co in the UK is very responsive and may provide contact details for service in the UK.

Thanks all. Niels et al., I ended up sending it to Steve Choi in California, USA. He is going to repair and CLA it for $295 (plus return shipping). I'll let you know how it goes when I get it back.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Steve Choi is the best!

a word of warning, though. i believe he went off on holiday for a few days for Thanksgiving so it may take a few more days than he usually turns it around.
